But this day I know...

It maybe that one day,life may end,
it maybe that I will never again learn to smile...
But this day I know...
I might have lost,I have truly lost,
while I glowed with the satisfaction of winning...

But this day I know...
I have been mean,yes,I said you can not...
I have been,yes,I said you will not...
I have doubted,I have been skeptic,
but now I know...

But this day I know...
I have shut out my heart to everything that was good,
I remained blind to all that meant...
But this day I know...

It maybe that I lost some things forever,
it maybe that I will regain some things again...
But this day I know...

I boasted my ignorance,
I gloated my arrogance...
But this day I know...

I have learnt to smile my friend...
I have learnt to smile...
That day I smirked,that day I rolled my eyes...
But this day I know...

Once I ignored,once I over-looked...
Once I judged...
But this day I know...

I sit here, in this lonely chair, my heart is troubled,
I doubt if I must, but I smile...
I am scared, trust me I am...
But for a reason I don't know,I go ahead and smile...
If these tears speak to me of that loss, that smile tells me the gain...
I know I fell,I know now I needed to...
I have learned what I ought to have seen long ago...
But this day I know...

I know now,you can smile...
You have won my friend...
You have won that old game...
This day content,I know where I must lie down low...
I rest in the lap of time...
But this day I know...
That all I had to do was choose between yesterday and tomorrow...

This day I do know,
I am content and peace sleeps beside me in this solitude,
unlike hours in darkness that I spent in past,
so lonely with pain in that blanket of snow...
